About this course
The BSc Computer Science with Cloud Computing programme offers an exciting curriculum designed to equip you with the foundational knowledge and advanced practical skills necessary to excel in the fast-growing cloud computing industry.
The programme integrates core computer science principles with a strong emphasis on the design, deployment, and maintenance of modern cloud-based solutions. The curriculum is also aligned with industry-recognised cloud vendor certifications, enabling you to build and validate industry-transferable competencies in critical areas of cloud computing.
By gaining expertise in industry-standard practices and technologies, you can prepare for roles such as a cloud developer, solutions architect, or data analyst.
Assessment methods
You can build extensive knowledge of cloud computing concepts, encompassing cloud-based computers, storage, and networking, whilst developing practical skills in cloud architecture design, deployment, and development. A key focus is on cloud service deployments, a theme woven throughout the curriculum and delivered through topics such as Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and serverless computing for API development. Cloud data services are also a key topical area, with attention given to data transformation and analysis using cloud data platform. You can learn through a blend of lectures and workshop sessions where you can gain hands-on experience. In your final year you may also can explore a specific area of cloud computing and undertake in a significant cloud-based project. You will also be expected to undertake two to three hours of self-directed study for every hour taught.
